Carved and Painted Native American Whirligig Figure boy with dog This box is quite largeIt's the carved head on this figure that really made me fall in love with him, with this wonderfully strong triangular nose, straight line for a mouth and deep set eyes mostly holding onto their original black and white paint. Certainly once paddles extended from his arms, which would spin in the wind, but I rather like the straight across line of his empty hands nowor one could stick other things through the holes at the end of his arms! 7 5 8" t x 5
